What do I want to accomplish this year?

2010-01-25T11:43:00.000-08:00

* Confidence in myself

* Sealed to Nick for ever

* Pull my credit up

* Do 1 spontaneous thing a month big or small

* Blog lots more

* Take lots of pictures to scrapbook and blog about

* Take care of myself

* Read about woman of the church

Nick and I talked in church on Sunday and I just had so much insight. We talked about Eternal Marriage. I talked about the role woman have and Nick talked about the priesthood. It was just amazing. It was the first time we have spoke as husband and wife. The spirit just touched my heart so much. I was unable to go to my classes due to procrastination but talking in sacrament just inspired me to be the best woman, wife and daughter I can be. Women are amazing and we are capable of so much.

Highlights of 2009

2010-01-04T12:32:00.000-08:00

* Became more active in church

* Payed of almost all my debt

* Went to Ax7,Papa Roach,Atreyu and Hollywood Undead

* Quit my job at Larry H. Miller Bountiful Chrysler Jeep Dodge

* Had my 1 year Anniversary

* Moved back to Bountiful

2009 was a rough but wonderful year. A lot of the unhappy moments in life can be made the happy moments. We put so much of our income on debt and didn't go out a lot but we grew closer together.

Thoughts...

2009-12-02T18:44:00.001-08:00

The other day I was looking at my friends post on Facebook and she was talking about a surprise she had so people started asking her if she was pregnant. She wasn't but it got me thinking. Whenever I didn't feel well or something to that effect people always ask me "Are you Pregnant?" People get so excited for newly weds to have kids.

Whenever I'm out with my Mom and Cat we see a cute baby and they look at it and say "Jess have one."

It is great how people get so excited about newly weds having baby's. Its almost always the instant question when the wife doesn't feel well or has a surprise.

Big Mix Up

2009-09-15T14:55:00.000-07:00

One day at work I sent Nick saying " I love you so much!"

When I went back to my phone my dad had text me back saying " I love you so much to?" like where did that come from.

So I text him back explaining how I was trying to send it to Nick but that I did love him.

He replied with " Ya right your just covering you butt. Your not the good daughter."

I was hurt so I replied with " Whatever I am so the good daughter I made cookies last night."

He text "that's true your the good daughter"

Well we had a family party that night and told the story of how I mixed up my contacts in my text. It was quite embarrassing. Everyone was laughing and saying things like well at least it was something like that instead of something else. So true. That would have been so much worse if it had been something else.

Sisterly Love

2009-09-15T08:42:00.000-07:00

Being sisters lots of experiences happen and we adapt and grow together. Well as we have grown and adapted together special names have come along that we all know and answer to.

Jessica- Jessica Rabbit Head,Muffin & Good Daughter
I have no idea where Jessica Rabbit Head came from but my parents have always called me that. Catherine started calling me Muffin one day and it just stuck. I am just the good daughter look at me!

Catherine- City Cat, Cat & Cupcake
She has had city cat since she was a baby to and then of course cat is short for Catherine but Cupcake is from me. She calls me Muffin so I had to come up with some baked goods nickname for her.

Elizabeth- Liz, Lizzy, Wizzy Woo Woo
Lizzys nick names are just funny! The first 2 are pretty obvious but I bet your wondering where we got Wizzy Woo Woo. Well it all started in Seattle when Cat & I got her to pee her pants a couple of times while running to the bathroom. Sarah sat on the toilet so she couldn't get on then I would tackle her while cat tickled her till she peed. Yes it was probably rude but it sure was fun.

Sarah- Sarah Bear, Bear & Good Daughter #2
Sarah got her nickname because it just fits. She is so sweet and likes giving bear hugs. She is the second good daughter because I have married and moved on in life. But will always be #1.We haven't been able to come up with other nicknames because they just don't fit her. What an Angel!

Cat & I are in the process of coming up with a baked goods name for Liz and Bear. It takes time and thought to come up with the perfect one.

We Did It! We Did It!

2009-09-14T18:42:00.000-07:00

We survived our first year of marriage!

With No:
Bite Markes
Stitches
Broken Bones

It wasnt easy at times but we pushed our way through it.

learning to share:
the bed
money
time

Learning all the little habits and things everyone does but dont get to see while you are dating.

It has certainly been a crazy wonderful year. We have been together for 4 1/2 years and still learning so much about each other. It is great!

I heard your first year is hard but your 2nd is harder. What do you think?

Testosterone Overload

2009-07-13T23:13:00.000-07:00

Have you girls ever had such an overload of testosterone?

Every time I have gone to the movies the past month or so it has been for the new cool action movie. AKA men movies. (not all the time)

What started it was Terminator. It was OK. Not to really hip on it. I haven't seen any of them so I didn't really care.

The second was Hangover. Yes I thought it was going to be funny. NOT!! So by that time I needed to see a good movie in theatres.

Well the last movie I saw was State of Play. It was very good. but still action.

So what did I see next YUP Transformers!! I fell asleep. Need I say more.

So to get me out of my movie slump I was trying to think of a really good chick-flick to watch and was listening to the sound track to What A Girl Wants. I watched it. I cried and laughed. I feel so much better. Girls just need to be girls!

Great/Weird Saturday

2009-06-29T14:42:00.000-07:00

So Saturday my mom, cat and I went to donate plasma and the wait was unbelievable. We waited over an hour and still hadn't been called. The girl next to me had been there for 3 hours and just finished her paperwork and was waiting for her physical. So ridicules. So we left and ran some errands. When we went home I started to clean my room and was just in a funk. So my mom and cat helped me clean and organize my room. I love my room now. I being in a funk. I just feel useless. Then my mom helped me make a duvet cover for my down comforter that I bought like 2 moths ago! I freakin love it. Nick was so excited to see our room so clean and be able to use our down comforter. Crazy Saturday.

8 People in 1 house

2009-06-28T12:27:00.000-07:00

So my whole family of 6 +2 live in 1 house. There are 2 bathrooms, 2 laundry rooms, 1 kitchen and 4 bedrooms. Now you would think it might just might be able to run smoothly. Wrong. It doesn't. 5 women (hormonal women) don't always get a long. Women just tend to be hormonal and snippy. What I don't understand is how some women can get away with the snippy attitude and talk to people in a very rude manor without getting in trouble and the women who once in a while do get snippy always get in trouble. I don't know if it is because the ones that do have just always done it is just normal and the women who don't its just abnormal. 2 of the women work. Now one has to be professional and the other wears jeans and a uniform shirt. Is it that big of a deal if someone gets a head of the other so they would have either just clothes to wear or church clothes for the next day. People shouldn't be leaving things in the wash over night anyway so if that had been done then the problem wouldn't have happened. Because we all work we generally don't get laundry done during the week. We do it on the weekend. Some people have days off during the week and should have gotten some of it done then. But again we are all busy. We all got behind because they were sick or just way to busy helping out around the house. So what happens when we all try to do it in 1 day. Fights happen, mean things are said. All because of LAUNDRY!!!! Pretty pathetic huh.

The Story of Nick and Jessica

2009-06-26T15:30:00.000-07:00

Just for some background information Nick and I went to Washington Elementary, Millcreek Jr. High, and Bountiful High together. Catherine is a big part of the story. She was the babysitter of the couples. She is there everytime we hung out but isnt mentioned.

Nick and I officially met at my 15Th birthday party. My family rented the pool for us 4 girls to have a combined birthday party. So We all invited our separate friends. On the invitation I sent out it said you could bring a friend if you wanted to.

The day of the party we are waiting for all our friends to show up. I had invited a lot of people and Layton shows up with Nick. Tasha and I went to say hi and I was thinking to myself great, this is going to be loads of fun. All my friends show up and we are playing in the pool having a blast surprisingly. I started crushing on nick. He kept dunking me and tickling me. So after the party Tasha, Layton, Bertha, Nick and I hang out on my trampoline. I didn't see Nick till school started.

So my first year in high school. Scary! I am trying to get all my classes right but who really gets all there classes right? So i end up going to math instead of health. My cousin Regan is in the math class and Nick was in my health class. How embarrassing!! I'm in the wrong class with my cousin and late for the one my crush is in. The worst part about it. The only seat left in my health class was next to Nick. EHHH!

After school started Tasha and I were getting the hang of things. Tasha, Bertha and I decide we are going to go to our first football game. That is where everything begins! The 3 of us find Layton and Nick so we are standing and talking and then we ran into Andrew (Tasha's crush) and they are flirting and stuff. We had a blast. We got ice cream cones afterward thanks to my dad (the driver). After that football game we all didn't leave each others sides. We all ate lunch together and had our specific seats. We walked home together and hung out at my house till my mom kicked us out. Eventually Tasha and Andrew started going out and Bertha got a boyfriend Daniel. I still really liked Nick and had a class with him everyday.

During football season our routine was go to the game, walk to Little Cesar's and get 2 pizzas and soda, Sit on the trampoline or inside just talking, watching a movie or playing xbox.

As things moved on I really liked Nick and found out he liked someone else. It crushed me so bad. I finally got the attitude of fine if you don't like me I'm not going to waist my time. So in my biology class I got a crush on Tyson the guy who sat behind me. So eventually I started asking him to hang out with all of us and he would. He was really short at the time. Layton and Nick gave him so much crap for it. It would make me so mad. Bertha, Layton, Nick, Tyson and I were hang out one night. I was really flirting with Tyson. Layton and Nick stood straight up in the middle of the movie and said "we have to go" and left that was that. It was really weird. I didn't think anything of it at the time though.

A little more time goes on and its my sweet 16Th birthday party. My family and friends planned a HUGE surprise party for me. My mom took me out to distract me. We were getting close to home and my mom gets a weird call and i didn't think anything of it. I got home and SURPRISE! I was so excited all my friends,crushes, and family were there. It was so much fun. We played xbox and just had a blast.

We were taking everyone home. Tasha was sitting in the front seat and I was in the back next to Nick. We went to drop him off and we started playing and holding the new baby kittens they had. So while they were playing with them Nick and I were in the back. He started to tickle my knee and I pushed it away. He did it again a couple of times and then he started to hold my hand. If anyone looked back he would let go and tickle me again.

The next day at school nothing was different and everyone acted the same. I had asked Tyson on a date to see the midnight showing of the new Star Wars. My birthday was on a Monday and my date was on that Wednesday. I got my licence on Tuesday the 17Th after school. Nick and I were hanging out later and were playing xbox he started to hold my hand again and would hold it only when we were alone and at my house. The week goes on and still only held my hand. Thursday night we were hanging out and I was going to start getting ready for my date with Tyson. Layton came downstairs as Nick was giving me a hug bye.

While I am getting ready for my date all I could think was please have Tyson call saying he cant go so I can take Nick. It didn't happen. The date went really well. I think Tyson fell asleep during the movie, I got lost going home and his mom was nervous about me driving so that made me more nervous. I drop Tyson off and drive by Nick's house and his lights are still on and I go home and try to sleep. The next day I don't remember what happened at school. But after school Nick and I were hanging out and holding hands. It was also the night my family was in charge of the refreshments after the Temple visit in our ward. So Nick and I were helping and socializing on the swing and very discreetly holding hands. He needed to leave to get his dad so he said "I will give you to hugs tomorrow OK." I whisper OK back and he left. After he got his dad home he came back and we were on the swing holding hands again. Everyone had left so we were outside talking and Nick looks over at me and asks " So are we going out" I replied "that's up to you" he replied with "OK we are" that was that we were dating! He gave me a hug good bye and left. I ran inside saying we were going out and couldn't get a hold of Tasha as usual. So I drove to her house and told her. Went home and was so excited I couldn't sleep.

After that many events happened and I moved to Seattle in August of 06 and moved back in March of 08. We were married on Sept. 18Th, 2008 and hope to be sealed this September. I love Nick with all my heart and love our story.

What to do??

2009-06-26T15:25:00.000-07:00

So all I do at work is call 40 people or less a day. That takes maybe 2 hours tops, Take 1 hour lunch what do I do with the 6 hours I have left of my day?

It has been about 2 weeks since the change. Can I have a job description? Please.

New Management

2009-06-18T13:23:00.000-07:00

My dealership got a new GM (general manager) and with new GM's comes in his own people.

Its one thing to bring in some of your own team

its another when you fire the person that runs all the little things know one thinks about.

I cant believe they fired Jaymie for no reason.

It was a great start to ruin my week.

They also got rid of anyone that would have given some happiness to the place.

Like Scott that had just moved here from Texas.

And Brent who I might add

has 8 out of 11 kids living at home

Just bought a house

and moved his family from Arizona.

NOT COOL MAN,

NOT COOL!

My Great, Boring Thursday

2009-05-22T09:20:00.001-07:00

So yesterday work was so boring and had nothing to do. My evening was great!

*I bought a feather comforter for $40.00 @ Macy's

*My mother-in-law got a new car and is under warranty!!!

What is a Woman?

2009-05-02T13:19:00.000-07:00

The Dictionary defines a woman as-

1.the female human being (distinguished from man).

2.an adult female person.

3.a female attendant to a lady of rank.

4.a wife.

5.the nature, characteristics, or feelings often attributed to women; womanliness.

6.a sweetheart or paramour; mistress.

7.a female employee or representative: A woman from the real estate agency called.

8.a female person who cleans house, cooks, etc.; housekeeper: The woman will be in to clean
today.

9.women collectively: Woman is no longer subordinate to man.

There are so many definitions about women. Women have such an amazing role in life. But they never mentioned in there that woman are mother's or bearers of children. It only says what our physical role. Our divine role is so much more.

We are Daughters of God.

We are Supportive, loving, Caring Wife's.

We are Mothers.

We are the glue that holds everything together.

I love it. I am a daughter of God, wife and glue. I am excited to be a mother. It is such a beautiful thing.

Little of This a Little of That

2009-03-27T19:03:00.000-07:00

I cant believe I have been working here for 1 year already! So work is just crazy! lol We practically have all new salesmen that have and need training and I thought it was going to be a pain but this bunch of guys are actually asking me questions when I am training them! Generally they all come in to be trained and I get this blank stare like ok whatever. lol I am so excited about some of our new staff.

I am so excited about our new GM Greg Johnson. He is just doing a 360 on the dealership. Then our new sales/floor managers are great. They are happy, pumped and ready to make it all happen. It is really awesome. I actually dont mind going to work. My favorite is Scott Embree the floor manager, he rounds up all the guys to make their appointments and comes back to where they are and checks up on them and makin sure no one is waisting time. Brent is the new sales manager and he is fun, friendly, and hard working.

I love my boss! Jaymie is so sweet and we have so much fun together. When I go in to help her with Shows (showed appointments) it generally takes 20 min tops and it NEVER is that short. we get talking and telling funny stories. It will take a good hour or more. lol She has a 2 year old girl and she is just so cute and is hilarious to hear about.

I love being married! Nick is such a sweetie. So when my red heels broke he told me to go to Nordstrom to get a new pair of shoes so I did. So then last saturday I surprised him with lunch and he told me to get my nails done and a pedicure! It was so cool. I love pedicures they feel so good. My biggest worry is them being totally grossed out and talking about me in front of me. lol

Old and New Jessica Simpson Heels

2009-03-11T22:02:00.000-07:00

So I bought first pair of Jessica Simpson heels in August or Sept 2007 at Nordstrom Rack in downtown Seattle with when my friend Kristine was visiting. They were so amazing! I love red and my favorite was the Tortoise heel. You don't see that everyday. I found them at the rack not really looking for shoes they were the last pair in my size AND I have always wanted to have red heels. So over a year and a half of wearing them they wore down obviously and they tore on the side. My wonderful dad fixed them for me. On 3/8/09 I was getting out of my moms car and the shoe got caught on something and tore the leather at the point of the shoe. So I was crying and when I got home I showed Nick laughed and told me to go look at Nordstrom. (he knew I wanted to go to the new one at Fashion Place Mall) Cat and I went to the mall and I found my new Jessica Simpson Heel. I kept looking just to see what else they had and found lots but way out of my price range. I went back look and said Yes this is my new must have heels!

Sugar

2009-03-02T23:14:00.000-08:00

So I made Sugar Cookies the other night. I generally don't make anything but my Chocolate Chip Cookies. My mom made heart sugar cookies for Valentines Day so a week or so later I wanted to make them. So I did and they were great! I don't remember making them before. I have made Chocolate Cut Out Cookies but the dough is different. I love making Sugar Cookies now. I want to open up a bakery called Sugar by Jessica Bowman. I think it would be so much fun. I love to bake. Sugar just makes everything sweeter. The decorating and displays you can do. I have so much fun planning it out how it will look and what I will sell. If I knew I would be successful and would make money I would, but with the economy the way it is I will just have to wait and see.

Blonde Moment

2009-02-28T14:12:00.000-08:00

Sure once I tell everyone I have a new blog I figure out how to fix it. Der Der Der lol If anyone needs to do this in the future all you do is

Go to Settings

Export your blog

Import your old blog

I am such a Blonde. lol

New Blog

2009-02-28T14:01:00.000-08:00

I had to get a new blog today. I switched over from yahoo email to Gmail and I cant reset my blog user name and email. I can go back and forth between accounts but I really didn't want to. So I wont blog on this one anymore. I'm not deleting it.
My new blog is bowmanfamily08.blogspot.com
I am really sad that I cant just change that. So any who that's whats up with the blog.

King Sized

2009-02-26T20:08:00.000-08:00

I finally went from a full size to the king I never thought I would get!! It was so weird sleeping in it last night cuz I'm so use to sleeping right there next to each other and then falling asleep in the middle and moving out! Its crazy and freakin amazing! My parents got a new bed that came with a frame so i got the new frame and the old mattress! Yay me!!

My Happy Valentines Day

2009-02-18T18:24:00.000-08:00

So Tuesday before Valentines Day Nick and I are sitting in the living room and he looks over at me and asked.

"What are you doing Saturday?"

I replied

"Nothing. Why?"

He said

"Just wondering. Stay home all day so you can get your surprise."

He wouldn't tell me what the surprise was. I can usually get things out of him but not this time. I was glad I couldn't but sad. You know that feeling. You want to keep it a surprise but you want to know so bad. So I ended up getting pneumonia so I stayed home half the week. Saturday comes and he is getting ready for work. He gives me a kiss bye and tells me to get up so I can get my surprise. He didn't know when it was coming so I figured I would sleep some more. Catherine and Lizzy came downstairs and said that my surprise was here and to come open it.

I went upstairs and there is a tall box sitting on the table. I opened it and inside were Red, Pink and Yellow Mini Roses. It came in a great cream colored potting vase. I am so excited. My dad got my mom red roses when I was born and she has replanted them everywhere we've moved. I am excited to be able to do that. I love mini roses. They are so pretty and small.

(the vase is wrong in the pic)

Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach, Saving Able and Buckcherry

2009-02-01T11:55:00.000-08:00

So my SUPER AMAZING DAD won me 2 tickets to the Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach, Saving Able and Buckcherry on Wednesday the 28th at the E Center. It was so much fun. Saving Able was awesome. I only knew a couple of there songs but it was great. Papa Roach was so cool. I has never seen pictures of them so they look totally different then I thought they would. He started crowd surfing and I was 2 feet away from him. It was so cool. I love seeing Avenged Sevenfold live. They are such a great band. Nick is so great he kept the moshers away from us. We had so much fun. We got some great pictures and video. We didn't stay for Buckcherry. We aren't big fans of them. It was so much fun! I lost my voice and everything.

The Death Bat

2009-01-18T14:25:00.000-08:00

Nick loves the death bat. If he could get any tattoo he would get a death bat as a tribute to our favorite band Avenged Sevenfold. You know how you have that one band that you can relate to? Well his is Avenged Sevenfold and mine is Good Charlotte. He was looking at our blog and asked "can we have a death bat on our blog?" I said I would blog about it. lol so here I am blogging about it. Yay me!

2009-01-17T12:07:00.000-08:00

We have so many things in this world to be grateful for.

My hard working husband who loves me with all his heart.

supportive, loving and caring family

The beautiful sunshine

Pajamas

My wonderful job

Hugs and Kisses

It is crazy to thing how many things we have to be grateful for when you sit down and think about it.

Hiccups

2009-01-14T21:00:00.000-08:00

So it all started with walking into the bathroom to take a shower. I got the hiccups. So corporate is here at work this week and I need to look very pulled together and professional. I also had to meet with them to kind of explain what i do and what my opinion is on how things could change, things like that. The hiccups had come and gone through out the day and I'm hoping they aren't choosing me to talk to today. So Jaymie comes in and introduces me to Brent and it was my turn. We walk into Jaymie's office and start talking and sharing opinions. We talked about how salesmen are like children and they need to be rewarded, we need more women salesmen in the world, and our opinions on how things could change. Right in the middle of our meeting I start hiccuping. I am freaking out by this point. They both look and me and kind of giggle asking me if I am OK. I was of course but through out the whole meeting I'm sitting there hiccuping and thinking oh great! This looks really good right now. It became a joke. lol Every time Brent was going to meet with someone Jaymie would say "Now don't scare them into getting the hiccups." The other funny thing was that later that day he sat in the same chair I was and got the hiccups. What are the odds? Do you think hiccups are contagious? hmmmm...

Sanity or No Sanity that is the question?!

2009-01-10T17:27:00.000-08:00

I finally have a place I can call my own and feel like it is my own. Its just a bedroom but it is mine. I have all my things moved in. I was able to mix Nick and I's stuff and make it look nice and neat. It is one of the best feelings in the world. Having a clean room is like my sanity. when my room is a mess in not sane and when it is clean I am happy and totally sane. I love having everything clean. I dont need it 100% clean just so I dont fell cluttered.

Mind Games

2008-11-26T21:47:00.000-08:00

Ya know all girls think that we can change men and that they know what we are thinking. We play these mind games with ourselves. We get upset, excited or want to talk and we play the whole thing out in our head all day long and we have the expectation of it going like that. It never happens like we think and hope. Men don't know what we want cuz most of the time we don't know what we want. We just want the man to take charge and just take us out or gives a little esa. (extra special attention) We cant change men; we can inspire them. We cant physically say that this is how you are going to be and that's that. We can influence them by showing them, making the right choice and they will do as we do. Women have power to create change not force change. Men will get the gist of it through out life but will never fully understand women and how we are. there are so many games and loops to women that can be pretty confusing. It is interesting to kinda realise how alike and not alike men and women are. I guess we will all understand one day.

Shoes

2008-11-11T20:59:00.000-08:00

I have found My new favorite pump. This shoes is gorgeous! I want to get them for the open house in December! They are a beautiful, wonderful classic look of a Mary Jane shoe. I love shoes and handbags. They are the funnest and one of the easiest things to shop for. You don't have to worry about stores not having your size unless they are out. They are wonderful. If I could I would devote a whole room full of shoes and purses.

Work Work Work

2008-11-11T19:01:00.000-08:00

I got promoted to Jaymie's Assistant and BDC Supervisor. I love my job. My boss is amazing and everyone I work with is wonderful. It is crazy that with in the 8 months I have worked there so many people have come and gone.

Daily Chores

2008-10-10T20:09:00.000-07:00

isn't it crazy how you start doing your own laundry, dishes, cleaning your room or bathroom you get in your own routine of doing things and generally only have to do it once a week. It is so crazy that once you are married or start living with someone how it doubles or becomes messier faster. lol I love being married. The best part is knowing I'm his and that I get to take care of him forever no matter what mood I'm in.

I'm Married

2008-10-01T17:13:00.000-07:00

Nick and I got married on Sept. 18th, 2008. It was so amazing. I love him so much. We want to get sealed on May 19th, 2010. May 19th is the day we started going out 3 years ago. That night was amazing. We were sitting on the swing outside my house and he looked at me and asked me "So are we going out? and I looked at him smiling and said "that is up to you" and that was that we have been together ever since. The night he proposed was so amazing. we were at my apartment and I generally go everywhere with James and Nick and he gets up to leave so I got my purse and shoes and he looked at me and was like "where are you going" and I said "I'm going with you" he said "no your not I'm ring shopping." So I went to watch tv and was thinkin to myself oh my gosh I am going to go crazy been here all alone so I went to my moms and we watched Father of the Bride. Go figure. lol They said it wasnt going to be that night but he did. He came in and he gave me a hug and kiss then dropped to his knee and said "Jessica Harris will you marry me?" It was amazing I saw my ring and was blown away. I love my ring and I love being married to Nick. He is the best thing that has come into my life.

Favorite TV Shows

2008-09-14T12:21:00.000-07:00

I am so excited for my favorite tv shows to come back!
Desperate Housewives- it starts on the 28th. I have never been interested in the show before until I watched an episode one day. Obviously I was totally bored. lol It is such a funny show. Women are such bitches to each other.
Pushing Daisies- This is so cute. The thought of not being able to touch anyone is so sad but he finds his true love and being able to solve crime like that is totally wicked. lol It is so funny and the pie shop is adorable. The whole plot is just fun and family friendly.

Funny Stuff

2008-09-14T11:59:00.000-07:00

So my friends Bertha and Daniel Nick and I were hangin out last night and Bertha and I were talkin about how much we didnt get along in elementary school and jr high. It is so funny how 2 ppl that didnt get along are great friends now. We dont even really know why we didnt like eachother we just didnt. If you had seen us before high shcool you probably would have never thought we would ever get along. I think it is funny how things work out in the end. Bertha and Dan just got married and Nick and I are getting married all that is left is Tasha. 2 out of 3 of us is married or soon to be married.

So we are driving down the street and they all wanted to stop by this antique jewelry store, and I am chewing my gum and kinda mumbling to myself while she is pullin into a parkin spot and says "what are you cowin about?!" we all started laughing. We are walkin across the street and Liz says that has got to be the funniest thing you have ever said. my mom looks at us laughing and said "it just fell out of my face." It was a you had to be there moments

2008-06-19T13:39:00.000-07:00

So yesterday I was takin my nanny kids to go get the bunnies they had bought and I stepped into a pothole in the grass and gracfully fell and tore a ligament in my foot and there might be a fracture somewhere where they can't see it. So I have a big black boot. It is so like me. I had to laugh to keep myself from crying. It is funny cuz I have already broken this foot along with all my other brakes and sprains. I do my own stunts!

Taste of Chaos Mosh Pit!!

2008-04-17T07:26:00.000-07:00

So I went to the Taste of Chaos concert on Tuesday and it was so awesome! Nick and I were in the middle of the mash pit. For the first 3 or 4 hours there were some random Japanese bands it was really weird. Bullet for my Valentine couldnt come because of personal issues I guess. Anyway it was so cool to see Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold. During Atreyu we were in the mash pit and we were being shoved back and forth and a big chunk of us fell over in layers and I couldnt get up and Nick was shoving people out of his way to get me up. It was so scary. Then they messed up on the song order and the lead singer had everyone put there birdy finger in the air and say "f you Dan" (Dan is the drummer). It was so awesome. Then Avenged Sevenfold came on and oh my gosh it was so freakin awesome. I would love to see them live again. When they opened they had a black drop come down then they did 4 fire torches went into flame and M. Shadows came out. They played like all of me and Nicks favorite songs. My favorite song Afterlife was so amazing to hear live. Nick was behind me with his arms around me making sure I wouldn't fall over it was so sweet. A couple of people got busted for smoking and smoking pot. So many people were wasted! I had this drunk guy in front of me and he kept leaning against me and then he would stare at me it was so funny. He was so tipsy. Towards the end of the concert Nick and I left the mash pit and didnt want us to go back in cause he didnt want me to get hurt. It was so cute! I had so much fun!!!!

New Job

2008-03-19T14:36:00.000-07:00

I got a job today! I am starting on Friday. It is in the call center for Larry H. Miller's new location in Bountiful! I am so excited I work from 9-3 4 days a week but I can at anytime move it to 5. Everyone takes turns working Sat. I get so many benefits! Whatever Larry owns or has a part in I get a discount in it. The lady I interviewed with she said that she normally doesn't give the job right on the spot but that she was impressed by me and wanted to hire me. They are way flexible with their scheduling. I already have my vacation in April taken care of. I also get a discount on cars and the servicing. One of the best parts of this is that I can wear my jeans!! There are so many great things about this job. I am so excited. Life back in Bountiful is really coming together. Tasha and I are going to the gym every morning and I have a great job. I feel so great about this. It is going to be so nice to have a nice flexible schedule and to love what I'm doing. Tasha and I are going to get our own place hopefully by June or July. We know a place where we are thinking of and we have pretty much everything we need. I am loving life!!

Job Searching

2008-03-18T08:16:00.000-07:00

I hate job searching it is such a pain. I have never had to do it before and it really sucks. I have always had people who have connections and hook me up with a job. Eh its hard. lol

New Start

2008-03-12T09:50:00.000-07:00

On March 9, 2008 I made one of the biggest choices in my life. I moved 800 miles away from my family. Which is very scary. Its a scary world out there and being away from family is a scary choice but it was a good one. I am living with my wonderful grandparents. They are so sweet. I love my grandma she is really making me feel at home. Oh and my bed is so amazing. Like WOW. I sleep like a baby. lol I am having so much fun with all my friends and Nick. We are just having fun. I will get my own place by summer and Tasha and I are gonna get our own place. I am way excited. I am feeling so great about life. I just feel like the world has everything to offer me and I am ready to take what life has to offer.

Day at the beach!

2008-03-07T07:59:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I went to the beach with my mom, sisters, and Sean. It was so much fun. We got Cupcake Royal cupcakes and we played around in the sand. Cat and I sent a message in my DR. Pepper bottle. It was pretty sweet. Then we went to the store and got soda, chips and cookies. The general things needed to stay energised. lol We tried to watch a movie but ended up at the mall and somewhere between entering and leaving all the sugar I had eaten left. I was so tired and got super loopy. lol It was like I was drunk, high or something. It has been so long since I have done that. It was so much fun!

This whole day was my Queen for the Day! I chose the music, what we did and stuff. It is because I am moving this weekend. I felt like I was in limbo and the month was going to snail right by. So I talked to Nick about him coming up one weekend and getting me and he chose this weekend. He got Monday off and he bought his new car yesterday. I will be back in April for a week then my family will be coming down with us so it will be nice not going cold turkey on not seeing my family.

It is scary leaving my family and choosing to become independent. I have butterflies and knots at the same time. I am excited but sad. I love my family and am going to miss them so much. It hit me last night while I was laying in bed thinking about it. I have been so excited about it and not as sad as I had expected me to be but now it has hit me. I love my family with all my heart.

Family

2008-03-01T20:31:00.000-08:00

I love my family. They are such a great support system. My parents are great they give me great advice and do a fabulous job malling me. My sisters are sweet and loving. They are always there for me when I need them. We are so tight but don't show it. We laugh, smile and have fun together. My family and I don't always get along but in the end we are one big crazy family that loves each other. Some of my families favorite things to do is/are sit on my parents big king size bed on a Sat. morning, quote movies, watch movies, and go on road trips.

Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour

2008-02-27T09:36:00.000-08:00

Only 6 weeks until the Taste of Chaos concert! I am so excited. Nick and I bought back in January during the pre-sale for such a good price and we have floor seats. It is so awesome. One of my favorite bands is going to be playing Avenged Sevenfold. I love going to concerts but I have only been to Nsync. Whoopee! My wonderful mom took me to them. lol One of my other favorite bands is Good Charlotte and they came to the Delta Center in Utah and my parents wouldn't let me go. I had to have an adult and no one would go with me. :( But I am an adult now and can go to any concert I want!

Music

2008-02-26T15:23:00.000-08:00

I love music. It is so influential and can set a tone. I like hard rock. My parents call it "evil, satanic, screamo music." Which I guess is is but I find something about it that releases stress. I can be such a goody two shoes that it gives me an edge. I love that. lol

Miss Independent

2008-02-26T13:47:00.000-08:00

So after almost 19 years of living with my parents and 3 very annoying and sometimes sweet sisters I am moving. I am moving back to my hometown and going to be living with my grandparents until I get on my feet. Which is so great because it will help me get out on my own slowly. I am so excited to be with dads side of the family and my best friend in the world Tasha and my boyfriend Nick. Tasha and I have been friends for years and it is so weird not hangin out with her. She is the sweetest girl and friend in the world. I want to get a red Nissan Altima a 2002 or newer. I love this car it is so cute and nice looking. I am excited for everything that is going to be comin my way good or bad! Bring it on!
